Making assumptions leads to misunderstandings and lost opportunities

If we don’t know, and we assume something, we can be way off base, losing opportunity and wasting energy in the process.

If we are a little confused by what someone has told us we should ask for clarification, but instead we often make an assumption. When we assume incorrectly, while at work for example, we can waste much time doing the wrong job or gathering worthless information. If we had asked for clarification, we would have known up front what the intent of the conversation was. So why don’t we ask?

Our brain is quick to fill in missing information; we do it about others, and others do it about us. Have you ever given someone else instruction only to find they didn’t do what you wanted at all? We make assumptions that we know what others want, and we also assume they know what we want. Not only is this unproductive, it can sometimes be hurtful as well.

The simple fix is to be open, be curious and ask questions. Ask for clarification!

In this week’s meditation we are encouraged to watch for this in our life, and to be open to a different possibility.

Thank you for listening. Enjoy!

As a professional Animal Communicator and Spiritual Practitioner and Minister, I use the wisdom I have learned from all life to create a life I love through deep spiritual practices. This did not happen quickly; I had a lot of rough years being financially broke and in dysfunctional relationships before I was able to understand the wisdom presented in Spirit and Nature and how to connect it to my own life. Then, finally, life started shifting.

Now it’s my mission to help others do the same. I engage the wisdom of ALL life to help people create a life they love using spiritual practices and tools; to guide people into deep spiritual connection with the Divine for a richer, more rewarding life.

If you have the urge to seek something better in your life, if life feels hard and deep down you know it doesn’t have to be, but you don’t know how to make it better; if you are ready to make a change, please reach out to me.

I offer classes, videos, blogs, one-on-one coaching, and appointments.
